So we have our first cross platform console title from Sony as a 3rd party publisher. I'll scan the usual media outlets for the doom & gloom stories around then exiting the console market...

Jokes aside, curious as to how this is on Switch but it seems PS4 isn't getting it? Not surprised at all Xbox is cut out of the release.

Sony are crazy trying to push Horizon.

In better news Astro Playroom got a patch update with new stuff... trophies, cameos, gacha items and mystery portal.

have they done this without a trailer? Amazing if so, but would be nice to be officially told like!

Sony wanting to draw more people to the PS5, while getting a foothold on Switch, which is still a profitable platform. I don't see how net Switch profit would be higher than PS4 net profit, though.

Lego Horizon looks visually incredibly nice. It'll be an easy one to wait on though as the gameplay looked pretty dull and not being PS5 only should see the usual Lego game price collapse rule apply

Aren't Lego games always dull? I feel like I'm playing Dynasty Warriors just mashing a button. Pure Zzzzeez generator. Admittedly, the Lego games always look great. My son loves the Marvel ones.

Like all of them it will be £20 a month after launch.

Lego Horizon Adventures on PS5 will have a performance mode and Fidelity mode. Fidelity will run at 30fps, performance will be 60fps with cutbacks - presumably on RT

No cross play and 7-8hrs completion time

My GOTY so far. I can't really explain why, but I just felt compelled to see and find everything. The combat is a treat.
